Show Love


To say, " I love you" is very nice

Can say those words yet not think twice

If you want them to really know

It's in your actions it will show


For loving someone's more than words

To think otherwise is just absurd 

If don't behave in loving way

It matters not what words you say


Yes, words can be so insincere

But actions speak out loud and clear

Don't have to put on big displays

Love can be shown in subtle ways


A wink of eye, a tender smile 

Just sitting nearby for awhile

A gentle touch, a listening ear

All signs that you hold someone dear


So, if you're truly loving kind

It won't just stay within your mind

For it will search for place to go

To plant itself and then to grow


So as you start another day 

Decide how you'll give love away

Of course, it happens naturally 

For today, do it intentionally 


Pick up the phone and call a friend

To say that you're thinking of them

Give loved one's hugs, strangers a smile

You'll find it very worth your while 


Search out a need and render aid

Share oatmeal cookies that you've made

Listen to others, not just hear

These things show love that is sincere


Show others they are worth your time

Make conscious effort to be kind

Let no harshness be in your voice

Instead, let sweetness be your choice


So, as you show love here and there

Know God is watching and aware

Christ says, what do for least of these

Is truly what you do for me


Matthew 25:40

Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, my brother, you did it to me


Hebrews 6:10, 13:16

Galatians 6:10

1 Corinthians 10:31

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
